Ice Palace
Items: 33
Kills: 22
Beyond the catacombs is a means to reach the Ice Palace. You might have gotten a glimpse of it early in the catacombs, but now you get a close up view of it.
Sights to See
 The Ice Palace is a marvelous place with many wonders to behold. Among the interesting features of this area is the fact that many of the doors and gates can be opened by the sounding of specific musical tones. You will find large golden bells that are very carefully tuned for this very purpose.

Also in this area, you will find that the ancient builders of this structure had a strange idea of how to get around. Ladders and steps seemed impractical to them, so you will encounter some springboards that will launch you several stories into the air when you step on them. So well designed are they, that they still work flawlessly after all these centuries.

Your travels will cause you to double back to an area you visited earlier. Don't be lulled into a false sense of security by the familiar surroundings. There are still many dangers in the area.

The Ice Palace itself is an amazing work of engineering. Fashioned out of solid ice, the building houses the mystical artifact known as the Talion.
Local Fauna
 Expect to see a lot more yeti running around in these parts. These creatures are not so rare after all. You will also see a rarity of nature: white Bengal tigers. The white Bengals are merely a color variant of the orange Bengal tigers. Although Bengal tigers are indigenous only to India, and white Bengals are rarely found in the wild, apparently they have migrated north and have found a home for themselves here in Tibet. Be aware that ancient legends state that the Talion is guarded by an enormous mystical beast.
Souvenirs
In your final stop in Tibet, you will be able to pick up another one of those fashionable Tibetan Masks. You will also finally get to grab a hammer that you probably had your eye on earlier, which is used to sound a giant gong. And most importantly, you need to pick up the Talion, which is the key to entering the sealed Temple of Xian.
Hidden Treasures
 The first of the secrets is not only extremely hard to find, but it would appear to be impossible to reach. Don't let appearances fool you. The second secret is in such an obvious place that you'd think it was on display. The location of the last secret will be obvious to you if you examine your surroundings. Getting inside will be the difficulty.
Hazards
 Early on, the dangers will primarily be misuse of the the springboards or getting mauled by hordes of yeti. Nasty falls will become less of a worry, but those yeti will continue to be a problem.
